Crikey! Another season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under is on its way next month! You know what that means, it’s time to meet the incredible queens who are ready to snatch our hearts while vying to snatch that crown.
This time around, 10 fresh fierce, and fabulous queens from all across the beautiful countries of Australia and New Zealand are headed into the Werk Room for their chance to impress Ru and not f**k it up! Not only will they earn glory and bragging rights, but the envious title of Down Under’s Drag Race Superstar.
The only person more excited about this coming season than us (and the queens themselves) is Mama Ru, who shared what fans can expect this season from the gaggle of new queens. “Australasian drag is filled with heart and humor, and I’m thrilled to share my season three queens to the world, for all to see their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent,” she gushed.
Returning alongside host and Supermodel of the World RuPaul at the judge’s table are Michelle Visage and the adorable, hilarious Rhys Nicholson. Season three premieres July 28 on WOW Presents Plus in the US and select territories worldwide, day-and-date with its local airing on TVNZ+ in New Zealand and Stan in Australia.
